>>5601197yeah, but again, for your scenario to happen, most if not all of the statesec forces would have to be spies and if that's the case, it would be more damaging to send those spies at other parts of the military and decapitate the empire's ability to command the army, not send them to a wunderwaffe facility
>Also: think about it, how is a large force of hostiles attacking us first, in history there have been battles that have been won with numerically inferior forces; paratroopers are a thing for a reason.
>at a heavily defended research base presumably deep within empire territory?ok, i propose how this could have happened. please hear me out, and i know this is a wild idea ridiculous even, but what if that single spy told them the location of the base and number of forces it contained? and also that spy due to his high rank in the empire knew the way to infiltrate a paratroop force deep in the enemy terrain? crazy, i know
>>5601216thankfully we don't have any reason to turncoat. at least now
